Nina and I got to ride the new RXP-X today. Iwas able to get about 30 mintues out on the water. The seadoo rep. was very cool with letting us go out and really test ride the ski's.

The positives:
-Excellent throttle response and holeshot. I gotta say this ski wants to rip you off it at all times. It has 2 modes like usual. The eco mode is very nice for just cruising and going on long rides. The acceleration is minimal and you get nice gas mileage for long rides. The sport mode on the other hand just wants to rip u off the ski. When you go from eco to sport the digital dash says "second rider hold on" and it means it.
- The ski is very comfortable to ride. Its not to wide and rides well through chop. The water is pretty flat out here but it had no problems going through any of the large boat wakes.
- The ski has VTS. After playing with all the setting its a great option especially for tight turns and holeshot.
- It also has the seadoo braking system. Nothing new it does what it does.
The negative:
- you really gotta work to turn it. The way the hull is designed you can't just leisurely turn and expect a quick turn. The ski is made for more of a closed course. You really have to lean in and throttle to get a crisp turn. While riding it I had the steering wheel turned it didn't want turn at all. This was my only negative really. This is a ski that is made for an advanced rider who knows how to handle a ski.
All in all from 1-10 I give this ski a 9. The price tag is killer $14k. I'll be posting pictures soon.

I went Saturday to watch the racing and took it for a spin. I thought it was a very good ski for being bone stock. You definitely have to lean your body to get it to turn properly. The Sea-Doo guys did tell everyone before riding it that this ski was designed to be more of a race ski. After talking to one of my racer friend he thought it was pretty much a big xpl with how it handled. I also heard that one of the Pro Runabout racers even said it was by far the best handling bone stock ski they have ever ridden.
